re: Biggest adjustment between low 80s to mid 70s?

Did you come up short or were you going for a pin and just barely missed?
It's a mixed bag. Some long and some short. I also fight the pull out of my swing perpetually. Always pulling left. Sometimes I overcorrect right. Or just line up too far right planning on a pull. Needs a lot of work.
I use a 58 for 100 yards in. A normal full swing on a 58 is 100-110. Really pretty comfortable distance at 100 out. When I have to regulate the swing speed down, it gets inconsistent. When I can, I try to play for the 100 yard distance, but the driver gets inside of that distance frequently.
I haven't quite developed the touch for different yardages at 100 yards in. It's getting better but not quite as accurate as I'd like. I

That's one shot I just dont have or trust. 100 in I used either PW, AW, or 54. I just open up the stance and treat it like a long pitch shot. It's weird, but works for me.

For some reason I read this as your swing speed and really wanted to see a 110 mph swing with a 58 degree.

Funny you say that because my go-to when I'm even 20-30 yards off the green is often a bump and run. When I try to lob my wedge onto the green, I hit it fat or thin a lot. The lob shot has improved quite a bit for me and a good reason my score has come down to low 80s consistently, but I still have those days where I'll absolutely duff one or two of those. Absolutely irritating.

Exactly what I was thinking. I have decent distances with my irons but I'm not hitting a PW 190 yards or anything like that.

Oh I’m throwing it all the way with spin when hitting that shot.
If I’m just off the green, I’ll bump with a 7i I’ve the lie is jacked up.

I don’t like this advice. I want my mindset on birdie putts to be the same as it is on bogey putts which is “it doesn’t fricking matter if I miss this putt.”
I honestly think changing my mindset on putting is why I’m a midish 70s player. When I realized there’s no difference in a birdie par or bogey putt it freed me up. I get more fired up making a good putt to save bogey than I do when I make a birdie. They all count as one. I also think it probably has helped me make more birdies because I don’t stress about making them as much. Tell myself I’m going to get a handful of decent looks for birdie today. Just need to make a couple to have a good round.

what key adjustment
Improve your short game, get it up an down more often.

You need to identify where you are losing shots most often and fix that. Different for everyone. I was in the same boat and it was long irons/fairway woods for me. I tried to work around them as best as I could.

Don’t regulate swing speed per se, shorten your backswing and/or choke down on the club. Always accelerate to the ball and swing with authority.

Don’t overswing, but accelerate through the ball on those wedges. I recall watching Faldo warm up and he said he tries as do many others, to swing at 75 or 80 percent and not 100 percent on most shots like that.
